The Kennan Institute was founded as a division of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in December �974 through the joint initiative of Ambassador George F. Kennan, then Wilson Center Director James Billington, and historian S.
Frederick Starr. Named in honor of Ambassador Kennan’s relative, George Kennan “the Elder” (�845–�924), a nineteenth-century explorer of Russia and Siberia, the Kennan Institute is committed to improving American expertise and knowledge about Russia, Ukraine, and other states in the region. It is one of several area studies programs of the Wilson Center. The Center is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly institution that fosters scholarship in the humanities and social sciences and encourages dialogue between the disciplines and the professions. The director of the Kennan Institute reports to the director of the Woodrow Wilson Center and receives guidance from the Kennan Institute Advisory Council and the Kennan Council.
The Kennan Institute offers residential research scholarships in the humanities and social sciences to academic scholars and specialists from government, the media, and the private sector. Thanks to its location in Washington, D.C., the Kennan Institute is able to provide its scholars with access to libraries, archives, research facilities, and human resources that are among the finest in the United States. Following in the tradition of the Wilson Center, the Institute also provides decision makers in the private and public sectors with access to the expertise of its scholars in residence through such activities as Policy Forums at the Department of State, its public lecture program, and interviews with the media.
In addition to its residential scholar program, the Institute administers an active program of public lectures featuring scholars and public figures from the United States, Russia, and other successor states to the Soviet Union. The Institute makes the results of its activities known in a variety of publications including Meeting Reports, Occasional Papers, Special Reports, and commercially published books. The majority of Kennan Institute publications are available free of charge and are regularly distributed to individuals, university libraries, and companies throughout the world, and are available through the Internet.
Through its innovative workshop series, the Kennan Institute serves as a forum where scholars can develop and discuss their research pertaining to a variety of topics concerning the region. The workshops bring together scholars with recent field experience from a variety of disciplines, with the goal of producing an original edited volume.
The Kennan Institute and the ISE Center (Information. Scholarship. Education.), Moscow, administer the Centers for Advanced Study and Education (CASE) program. The CASE program has established nine thematic research centers at regional Russian universities. The CASEs support advanced research in the social sciences and humanities in Russia’s regions, build networks of scholars within Russia, and provide opportunities for the integration of Russian scholars into the international academic community. The CASE program is currently

funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
In addition to its office in Washington, the Kennan Institute operates centers in Moscow and Kyiv. The Kennan Moscow Project and Kennan Kyiv Project provide on-the-ground assis-tance to the Washington staff and maintain contacts with various Russian and Ukrainian orga-nizations. The offices organize publications, seminars, and conferences on important current themes featuring Kennan Institute alumni. They serve as the core for Kennan’s Russian and Ukrainian alumni networks.
The Kennan Institute, as part of the Woodrow Wilson Center, is a nonpartisan institution that values its independence from the world of politics. Unlike many academic research cen-ters, however, it seeks to promote dialogue between academic specialists and policymakers. To this end, the Institute convenes scholars, governmental specialists, and other experts to discuss political, social, and economic issues affecting Russia and the other successor states to the Soviet Union, seeking always to place these issues within their historical context.

Reclaiming the Sacred
Just a few months after the Soviet Union collapsed, a leading “Sovietologist” was invited by a group of even more distinguished Soviet-hands to imagine the “table of power” in the Kremlin a decade-and-a-half hence. Who would be at that table? The leaders of various
democratic political parties? Women? Business leaders who competed with equal deftness with their western counterparts on the great global markets that would surely rule the world?
The speaker began by observing that how people gathered around the table would be as important as who they were. Would members of this elite be elected? Alternatively, would they find their way to power via personal networks? Would they all be ethnic Russians or would there be a place at the table for representatives of other nationalities? Would women be in the room? Continuing on, he suggested that while the process was unclear, undoubtedly some of those present would be wearing expensive business suits, others would be wearing the uni-forms of various security and military forces, and others still would don clerical garb.
The audience audibly gasped, and spent the evening trying to explain to the discussion leader that there would be no clerical garb at the Russian table of power. The Soviet Union had been an atheistic society and state, one that had been thoroughly secularized. In addition, the forces of a burgeoning global economy would propel others to the fore. Despite the role that religion might come to play in the private lives of individual Russian citizens, several in the room argued, there would be no public institutionalized religiosity in the former Soviet Union.
Whatever aspects of Russian reality were illuminated that evening nearly fifteen years ago, even more light was shed on mainstream Washington, D.C. think-tanks. One simply did not speak of religion in polite company, especially when engaging in political analysis.
How different the world—and Washington—seems today.Since the fall of communism in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries once part of the
Soviet Union, religious affiliations and identities have experienced a rapid resurgence. Religion emerged as an affiliation of growing prominence against the post-�99� background of new state formation, local authoritarianism, concerns over the meanings of democracy as well as the ethics of the new economy, and—in far too many instances—of poverty and war. An increasing number of people today look through the framework of religion in order to under-stand the world around them. In a region in flux, questions of religion are related to—though are by no means limited by—issues of national and international security. In fact, it is fair to say that religion touches upon all spheres of social, political, and cultural life, and its resur-gence has profoundly affected the definition and shaping of broader social movements as well as individual behaviors.
Woodrow Wilson International Center for scholars6
The religions practiced in this region differ from one another in important ways: their rituals are diverse, their customs and laws vary, their senses of sacredness are defined and elabo-rated through different social settings and different civilizational narratives. There are times in history when these differences between and among religions appear to set the stage for (and, indeed, impel) the great conflicts of the day. And yet, it is also fair to say that the world’s reli-gions share a great deal. In their essence, each and every one of them offers moral templates for followers. In times of danger and trouble, they offer sense, meaning, and solace. They provide for life-paths that contain dignity. In looking at their sacred books, it is clear that they encour-age order and lawfulness and offer ways for believers to learn the habits of altruism.
Within such countries as Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, there are vast and varied examples of how religion in its many facets is becoming central to social, cultural, and political life. In some cases, religious practices prove to be part of what could be called a new cultural dyna-mism, one that responds to shifting social reality. For example, over the past couple of years, mullahs in Tatarstan have begun to read their sermons in Russian rather than in Tatar. They have done so in response to the arrival of increasingly large numbers of migrants from the Caucasus region who are seeking religious sustenance in the language they share with local clergy: Russian. Some observers of this phenomenon detect an increasing radicalization of the content of local sermons, so that Russian may in fact become the language of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Central Volga. At the same time, because the sermons are in Russian, they offer a new, wider access to the sacred texts of Islam—a process which can serve to demys-tify Islam for Russians, an important step on the way to growing tolerance.
In another example, the new Mayor of Kyiv—Leonid Chernovetsky—was an unex-pected candidate and an even more surprising electoral victor given his religious affiliation. Chernovetsky is a follower of Pastor Sunday Adelaja, a Nigerian Pentecostal minister who has built up a congregation in Kyiv’s left-bank neighborhoods that is said to now total 25,000.
Within the thorny question of church/state relations in the region, several interesting con-figurations have developed. For example, the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church is lobbying for the introduction of religious training in Russian public schools. At the same time, the Patriarchate praises the separation of church and state in neighboring Ukraine. In Belarus, a new law on religious freedom (first thought of as a counterpoint to the post-Soviet state atheism still in effect in the country), has forced many followers of minority reli-gions outside of the frame of the law, simply because they meet in private homes. In the Northern Caucasus, one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse regions in the world, Islam is playing a role that leads both to stability and to radicalization. It is practiced not only by a small but devastating group of rebel warriors and “black widows,” but mostly by men and women hoping to quietly re-familiarize themselves with a religion long closed to them.
It is clear that religion, through a variety of institutions and confessions, has become a vital and vibrant force in the region. The dynamism of religion—manifested in the growth of some movements, the variety of new means for engaging the “public good,” and innovative ways of grappling with post-Soviet chaos—stands in startling contrast to an ever more visible return of a peculiar kind of political “stability” that comforts so many throughout the former Soviet Union. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, religion is a creative force in the post-Soviet space. Indeed, unlike local political systems and elites, religious institutions and leaders often respond far more quickly to the profound changes taking place in how people live their lives. Money matters; security is scarce; people feel that their future is uncertain. Political leaders

who somehow echo the past might be reassuring. Nonetheless, many are turning to religious belief for answers.
During the Cold War, Westerners barely thought to study religion in the Soviet Union. It was, after all, an atheistic state and, in any case, the questions that interested students of the region clearly clustered around themes of high politics and international relations. When the Soviet state collapsed, scholars had unprecedented chances to sort through the many sides of life that had been left out of the scholarship examining the Soviet Union. Still, we in the West who try to understand and explain the region often seem much more comfortable talk-ing about the “vertical of power,” oligarchs, and parliamentary negotiations than considering the content of Islamic and Pentecostal sermons. Consequently, like many voters in the region, observers often fall back on well-worn notions of what places like Russia and Ukraine seem to be about. While Putin and an emerging “Putin System,” as well as Yushchenko and his “grand compromise” with Yanukovych, are undoubtedly worthy of attention—indeed, the Kennan Institute has devoted considerable programming this past year to both—they do not tell the entire story of either Russia or Ukraine. In fact, the political may be the least dynamic aspect of post-Soviet life.
The Kennan Institute has been developing programming to initiate a serious analytic con-versation in Washington, the United States, and the West more generally about the com-plex place of religion, religious belief, and religious institutions in the contemporary life of Russia, Ukraine and the entire region. During the 2005-2006 program year, for example, the Kennan Institute hosted a workshop designed to serve as a forum in which scholars from a variety of disciplines could examine in depth the question of the role of religion in the region today. Drawing from their wealth of field experience, several anthropologists, histo-rians, and a political scientist together examined the role of morality, community, and reli-gion after Communism. Papers presented at the workshop, led by anthropologist Catherine Wanner (Pennsylvania State University) and historian Mark Steinberg (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), will be published in a book titled Reclaiming the Sacred: Morality, Community, and Religion after Communism.
The Kennan Institute also hosted a conference on “Religion in Russian Society: State Policy, Regional Challenges, and Individual Rights.” Sponsored by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, and featuring scholarship and policy work on Russia, Ukraine, the Caucasus, and

Woodrow Wilson International Center for scholars8
Central Asia, the discussion was aimed at bringing high level questions of state policy together with the fact of religious diversity on the ground.
The Kennan Kyiv Project held a seminar on “Inter-confessional Relations in Eastern Ukraine,” featuring both scholars of religion and religious clergy. The Kennan Institute in Washington, D.C. featured several scholars of religion in its speaker series of noon discussions, seminars, and lectures. Anatoly Krasikov, writing in the Vestnik Instituta Kennana v Rossii—the Kennan Moscow Project’s periodical—outlined the development of freedom of religion in the Russian Federation.
Programs such as these represent the continuation of an institutional priority several years in the making, namely that these issues matter in the region. From conferences and talks on the relationship between Orthodoxy and civil society, to programs on the role of Islam in Central Asia, the Kennan Institute has been striving to give religion the serious, deep consid-eration it deserves.
Aside from individual lectures, seminars, and conferences, there has been a trend that we have perceived: more and more enlightening scholarship coming out of the region examines religion as it engages broader historical, cultural, sociological, and demographic questions. I am particularly glad that several scholars in the 2006-2007 incoming class at the Kennan Institute work on various aspects of the problem of religion in the region, including anthro-pologist Douglas Rogers, historians Scott Kenworthy and Kate Brown, and political scientists Irina Papkov, Sebastien Peyrouse, and Scott Radnitz. We look forward to many fruitful discus-sions in the year ahead.
When the Kennan Institute was founded 32 years ago, it may have been hard for some of the finest scholars of the Soviet Union to imagine a time such as this, when the region was actively reinventing itself in important ways, especially along cultural and religious lines. Even if conflicts in the region appear to cluster around religious indexes and identities, it is crucial to remember in these dynamic and sometimes very troubled times that religion and the fact of religious diversity can play a positive role in individual minds, hearts, and communities. It seems crucial to pay respect to that positive function as we strive to understand this vast, rich, and complex region.
In closing, I would like to make special note of the Kennan Institute staff in Washington, Moscow, and Kyiv, without whom none of the accomplishments of the past year would have been possible. I have had the incommensurable good fortune of working with a group of indi-viduals over the past year who have consistently set a high standard to which I can only aspire. Ekaterina Alekseeva, Summer Brown, Markian Dobczansky, Joseph Dresen, Jennifer Giglio, Pavel Korolev, Renata Kosc-Harmatiy, Edita Krunkaityte, Galina Levina, Murad Pateev, Margaret Paxson, Irina Petrova, Yaroslav Pylynskyi, Nataliya Samozvanova, Anna Toker, S. Todd Weinberg, and Megan Yasenchak have been true colleagues. Erin Hofmann, who left the Institute this past year, is already missed. I value deeply their collective and individual intel-ligence, imagination, integrity, and good cheer. All who care about the Kennan Institute are in their debt.

For over 30 years, the Kennan Institute has worked to improve American expertise and knowledge about Russia and the other successor states to the Soviet Union. Recognizing the need to build on the successes of the past, in 200� the Institute established a private
sector advisory board—the Kennan Council. Members are drawn from the worlds of business, finance, law, and public policy. The Kennan Council was founded with two goals in mind. First, it is intended to help ensure the financial strength of the Kennan Institute. Second, it enables the Institute to broaden its programming to inform and learn from the issues con-fronting the private sector in Russia, Ukraine, and other states in the region. Members are asked to help identify which issues, whether political, social, or economic, are of the greatest concern to the private sector, and to help with fundraising.
The Kennan Institute has always brought together the worlds of academia and public poli-cy in discussing Russia and the other successor states to the Soviet Union. The creation of the Kennan Council has allowed the Institute to bring the concerns and experience of the private sector into this discussion as well.

KENNAN INSTITUTE
sCHOLARs
The Kennan Institute’s residential fellowship program supports outstanding research on Russia, Ukraine, and other states in the region in the fields of the social scienc-es and the humanities. During the 2005-06 program year, the Institute supported
nine types of grants: Woodrow Wilson Center Fellowships, Galina Starovoitova Fellowships on Human Rights and Conflict Resolution, Senior Scholarships, Senior Policy Scholarships, Public Policy Scholarships, Fulbright-Kennan Institute Research Scholarships, Title VIII-Supported Research Scholarships, Central Eurasian Short-Term (CEST) grants, and Short-Term grants. The competitive application process is open to qualified academic scholars as well as practitioners from government, media, and the private sector. All programs are limited to candidates with doctoral degrees or equivalent professional achievement, except Short-Term grants, for which an advanced Ph.D. candidate may apply.
The Fulbright-Kennan Institute Research Scholarship program, which began in September 2003, is funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the United States Department of State. ECA also funds the Galina Starovoitova Fellowship on Human Rights and Conflict Resolution. Research Scholarships and Short-Term grants for U.S. citizens and permanent residents are funded by the Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII), administered by the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the Department of State. Short-Term grants for for-eigners are funded by the Kennan Institute’s George F. Kennan Fund.
Kennan Institute scholars have direct access to libraries, research facilities, and human resources that are among the finest available in the United States. Resident scholars regularly participate in public lectures and seminars, specialized conferences, and informal presentations at the Institute and the Woodrow Wilson Center. The Institute provides a professional work-ing environment where scholars forge links with American and international colleagues and institutions. Resident scholars have the opportunity to disseminate their research to a larger audience through the publications and public lecture programs of the Institute.
During the 2005-06 program year, the Kennan Institute supported 7� scholars whose work included topics in politics, sociology, history, literature, economics, and the arts throughout the former Soviet Union. The scholars at the Kennan Institute during the past year came from around the world and formed a community of scholars. This community of scholars contrib-uted to the life of the Institute and helped to further American understanding of the social, political, and economic dynamics of the successor states to the Soviet Union.

HuMAn RIGHts AnD COnFLICt ResOLutIOnThe Galina Starovoitova Fellowship on Human Rights and Conflict Resolution was estab-lished following U.S. Secretary of State Madelieine Albright’s 25 January �999 speech in Moscow, in which she announced funding for a memorial fellowship at the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in honor of Galina Starovoitova. The Fellowship is funded and administered in cooperation with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and the Public Affairs office of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Galina Starovoitova was a leading human rights advocate and a deputy in the Russian lower house of parliament (Duma). She won her Duma seat from St. Petersburg in Russia’s December �995 legislative elections. Starovoitova served in the Congress of Peoples’ Deputies during �989–�99� and was a presidential advisor on ethnic relations until �992. She was a co-founder of the Democratic Russia movement. In �989, Galina Starovoitova was a visiting scholar at the Kennan Institute. She was also a visiting professor at Brown University, and a fellow in the Jennings Randolph fellowship program at the United States Institute for Peace during �993–�994, where she completed research on self-determination movements in the former Soviet Union. In keeping with the legacies of both Woodrow Wilson and Galina Starovoitova, the Starovoitova Fellowship is available to prominent scholars or policy makers from the Russian Federation, who have successfully bridged the worlds of ideas and public affairs to advance human rights and conflict resolution.

KAtHRYn WAsseRMAn DAVIs AnD FAMILY AWARDs DInneROn September �9, Woodrow Wilson Center President and Director Lee H. Hamilton announced the establishment of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Awards Dinner in sup-port of the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute.
The Wilson Center will honor two individuals with the Woodrow Wilson Award—one for corporate citizenship, one for public service—at each of these dinners. The Davis family will contribute $500,000 annually to underwrite these dinners and provide critical support for the Kennan Institute’s programming on Russia and the surrounding states.
The announcement was made following the Woodrow Wilson Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. to benefit the Kennan Institute, at which Kathryn W. Davis received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service. John H. Tyson of Tyson Foods, Inc. was also hon-ored at the dinner with the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship.
“The Davis family has shown a commitment to international education and understanding that is simply extraordinary,” said Hamilton in his announcement. “Indeed, it is impossible to calculate the impact they have had on institutions and individuals here in the U.S. and around the world. Because of this support, the Kennan Institute will be able to continue to enhance its vital work on behalf of increased American understanding of Russia, Ukraine, and the other countries of the region...and because of this support, the causes of international education and understanding that are so dear to the Davis family will be advanced.”
Blair A. Ruble, director of the Kennan Institute, said, “Kathryn Davis and her family have done far more than any other institution, group, or individual in this country to ensure that the United States will continue to have the capacity to study Russia in the years ahead. All of us who have custodianship for the Kennan Institute are in their debt; indeed, everyone in this country who cares about Russian studies should stand in awe of all that they have done for our field in its entirety.”
“My hope for Russia is to see it an independent, strong nation with good ideas of democ-racy and kindness toward its people,” said Kathryn Davis. “Toward that end, we need institu-tions like the Kennan Institute that help build and maintain dialogue between our two coun-tries and our two peoples in times of good relations and bad.”
The first Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Awards Dinner will be held in September 2007.

KENNAN INSTITUTE
In �998, Carnegie Corporation of New York, with the support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, invited the Kennan Institute’s Blair A. Ruble and Nancy Popson, together with Susan Bronson, formerly of the Social Science Research Council, to
prepare a study about how best to protect the welfare of the intelligentsia of the former Soviet Union, especially in its regional universities. Their report in �999, entitled The Humanities and Social Sciences in the Former Soviet Union: An Assessment of Need, formed the basis for a part-nership between Carnegie Corporation, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, MacArthur Foundation, and the Open Society Institute that led to the establishment of Russian Centers for Advanced Study and Education (CASEs) in 2000.
The CASE program recognizes that higher education, in the words of Carnegie Corporation
President Vartan Gregorian, “is our connection with the future. It is in institutions of higher education where the best minds of every culture and country ask the questions that will lead to advances in social, scientific, and governmental policies, and the development of science and philosophy—the kinds of breakthroughs that will advance a nation.”
Nine thematic Centers have been established at regional Russian universities:
FAr eASTerN NATIONAL UNIverSITY (Vladivostok), “Russia and the Asia-Pacific Region: Comprehensive Security, Conflicts, and Cooperation in the 2�st Century;”
IrKUTSK STATe UNIverSITY, “Siberia in Russia and in the World: Challenges to Development Strategies;”
KALININGrAD STATe UNIverSITY (bALTIC CASe), “Russia and Europe: Past, Present, Future;”
NOvGOrOD STATe UNIverSITY, “State, Society, and Individual in the Context of Russian Culture: the Dimension of Values;”

SArATOv STATe UNIverSITY, “Phenomenology of Power: State, Society, and Individual Destiny (Russian and International Experiences);”
CenteRs FOR ADVAnCeD stuDY AnD eDuCAtIOn
CAse InItIAtIVesThe current phase of the CASE program calls for the development of advanced research proj-ects, particularly those which involve collaboration among multiple CASEs, institutions in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and academic partners overseas.
As a result, a number of interesting and timely collaborative projects have been established over the past year. The Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in conjunc-tion with the Baltic, Novgorod, Rostov, Ural, and Far Eastern CASEs, are currently working on a project entitled “The Creation of Systems to Monitor the Connection of Growing Labor Markets in the Regions with Appropriate Personnel Training.” This project exemplifies the great potential of the CASEs for developing innovative and effective projects, which deal with methodological and practical questions of particular importance to their regions. Working groups have been organized at the five participating CASEs to consider how best to carry out the project in all of the regions, which methodological approaches to use, and the optimal methods to be utilized for data collection. This project is ongoing and will result in an analysis and comparison of current conditions, and the development of policy recommendations for the future.
“The Future of Russia: Perspectives from the Center and the Regions” is the title of another major project that has been coordinated during the past year by ISE Center, the Kennan Institute’s partner in Moscow responsible for administering the CASE program. This project showcases the capacity of the CASE network as a whole, and its ability to effectively cooperate with insti-tutions from various provinces in Russia—in this case, the Institute of World Economy and International Relations, the Institute of Sociology, and Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO)—on projects which have both scholarly and functional value. The project’s goal is the development of a prognosis for the Russian economy, political situation, foreign pol-icy, and social development through 20�5 using data compiled in different areas of the country. Results will include the formulation of different scenarios and policy recommendations based on this information for government officials at the regional and federal levels.
International activities from the past year included the establishment of three Kennan Institute-CASE working groups comprised of CASE-affiliated scholars (including representa-tives of programs similar to the Russian CASE program from Belarus and the Caucasus states), highly esteemed Russian scholars from Moscow and St. Petersburg, and preeminent specialists in the social sciences and humanities from the West. For many of the Western scholars, this project served as their first interaction with CASEs and, more broadly, with colleagues from the former Soviet Union. The three working groups focused on broad themes: “Globalization, Security, and Identity in Russia,” “Diverse Cultures in Contemporary Society,” and “State and Society Relations in Transitional Societies.” Each of the three working groups was made up of approximately twelve members and was led by one Russian specialist and one non-Russian specialist. Each group met twice and since the second meetings, each has worked to produce an English-language edited volume for publication. The workshops were designed to engage scholars from around the globe who are involved in similar research and to deepen CASE interaction with the international academic community.

UrALS STATe UNIverSITY (eKATerINbUrG), “Tolerance and the Integration of Societies under Globalization;”
vOrONeZH STATe UNIverSITY, “Dialogue and Continuity among Cultures in Contemporary Society.”
In addition, a CASE Resource Center was opened at St. Petersburg State University to support the research of CASE-affiliated scholars and St. Petersburg educational, cultural, and archival institutions.
Phase one of the CASE program focused on the selection of nine universities to host the Centers for Advanced Study and Education. The CASE Program Board selected these univer-sity sites from a large applicant pool collected during a series of three open, national competi-tions. The thematic goals and organizational structures of the CASEs were established and administrative details were finalized during this beginning phase of the project.
Once the structures were in place, the second phase of the program was initiated. Vibrant academic communities formed around each CASE as a result of the innovative, advanced research in the social sciences and humanities taking place at these Centers. The CASEs earned strong reputations as research centers at the forefront of Russian scholarship by attracting high-caliber scholars to be individual fellows and participants in CASE activities, hosting a variety of conferences and seminars, producing numerous publications, and establishing extensive open-access research libraries. An increase in academic mobility was achieved in Russia during this period and over 3,500 scholars from across the country have benefited from the CASE program, either through direct fellowships or through engagement in CASE activities.
Currently, the third stage of the project focuses on the development of advanced research projects, particularly those resulting from collaborative efforts involving multiple CASEs, academic institutions in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and international partners. This phase
KOTOv HOUSe, MArx STreeT 23, CHISTOPOL, TATArSTAN. (WILLIAM C. brUMFIeLD)
calls for: the integration of the CASEs into a fully standardized network which allows for more effective collaboration on network-wide research endeavors; extending their reach into the international academic community; offering intensive training on contemporary research methodologies; emphasizing the development of high-quality applied research at CASEs with specific attention to issues affecting the regions in which they are located so as to attract the interest of local civil society institutions, the private sector, and the public sector; and enhanc-ing the cooperation of CASEs with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, which has been encouraged to utilize the network of CASE universities in its pro-gram of higher education reforms. In addition to these goals, the CASEs are now also tasked with establishing the conditions within their host universities that will allow them to sustain their operations once Western funding for the program comes to an end.

KENNAN INSTITUTE
MeetInGs
The Kennan Institute sponsors an extensive program of meetings that bring together experts from academia, government, business, and the media in a non-partisan forum. The majority of meetings are open to the public; speakers and audience engage in dia-
logue on a broad range of issues regarding Russia, Ukraine, and other states in the region.Weekly noon discussions allow scholars and experts to present their research findings to
a diverse and challenging audience. Seminars and colloquia provide opportunities for more lengthy discussions of new research, and policy forums provide an opportunity to demonstrate how research results funded by the Title VIII program can be applied to contemporary policy issues affecting U.S. relations with Russia and the surrounding states. Noon discussions and seminars are covered regularly by the Voice of America as well as by journalists from the print and television media, including C-SPAN TV.
In addition to noon discussions and seminars, the Institute organizes conferences and convenes small workshops to bring together leading experts to examine specialized topics in depth. Numerous informal discussions give scholars in the Woodrow Wilson Center com-munity ample opportunity to trade ideas and get to know one another, and often provide a Russian-language forum for visiting Russian scholars to discuss topics in the social sciences and humanities with resident scholars.

Over the last several years, the threat and reality of terrorism has grown exponentially, and countries throughout the world are struggling to combat this problem. The importance of developing an effective collective response to this challenge has been recognized by the G8, a group of leading democratic and economically developed nations. The G8 countries included the issue of combating terrorism on the agenda of their annual summit in July 2006 in St. Petersburg.
Of particular concern to many people around the world is the perceived trend toward using fears about security to justify the erosion of civil liberties and to deprive citizens of their fundamental rights. Effectively addressing security while respecting human rights con-stitutes a key challenge of our day, and it is essential to have an open dialogue among indi-viduals who are responsible for security and those who are involved in the protection and promotion of civil liberties. Such a real and meaningful dialogue is vital to the preservation of democratic societies.
To encourage such a discussion, the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute, the Center for the Development of Democracy and Human Rights, and the New Eurasia Foundation hosted a roundtable discussion on national security and human rights in Moscow on June 29, 2006. The conference was opened by Ella Pamfilova, the chair of the Presidential Council on Civil Society Development and Human Rights. The forum brought together more than twenty leading experts from G8 countries, including participants from academia, public policy research centers, law, nongovernmental organizations, human rights advocacy, and journalism.
The main points of the discussion focused on the importance of protecting human rights while ensuring comprehensive security, and indeed, acknowledging the fact that the two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. There was broad consensus among the participants that only a society built on respect for human rights and the rule of law can effectively combat terrorism and that good governance, an independent judiciary, a strong civil society, con-straints on corruption, and an independent media are key elements. Moreover, it was widely noted that suppressing democratic freedoms as an expedient to achieving national security will only weaken it further by radicalizing and isolating certain populations, contributing to their perceived grievances and increasing the impetus to violence.
The Kennan Institute intends to continue this important discussion at other international gatherings with the goal of enhancing an appreciation for the essential interdependence of national security and human rights.

tHe ReAnIMAtIOn OF A ReGIOnIn 2004—thirteen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union—a farmer named Gromov, who had lived for over 60 years in a tiny village with no running water, reachable only via the abys-mal roads of the Russian north, bought himself a cell phone. In December of that same year, a tent city in Kyiv was brought to life by people willing to brave cold, hunger, and potential violence in the hope of bringing about a better future. Also in that year, a recent Fulbright-Kennan scholar from Tomsk left his university to work for the regional administration on investment policy reform, using all of the theoretical and pragmatic tools he had gained over the years to more fully connect his region with the global economy. Over the past several years, hundreds of thousands of people have left Tajikistan in search of work or education, primarily relocating to Russia. Across the former Soviet Union, there are new kinds of lives, new kinds of connections, and new flows of people, information, and ideas.
The past �5 years have witnessed a startling degree of change in this region. As bound-aries soften, new interactions are developing among peoples of different regional, cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. This process—known in its shorthand form as global-ization—has been both transformative (by invigorating the region with new ideas and by mak-ing old identities more inclusive) and anxiety-inducing (by testing the security of borders, by “threatening” existing identities, and by creating fear of social instability). In some important ways, the region has embraced this new dynamism—particularly evident in the polyphony of languages and ideas on Kyiv’s Maidan during the Orange Revolution. This process of reach-ing out to the world is also manifested on a much smaller, more modest scale—Gromov’s cell phone is an example of what has occurred even in the far reaches of the former Soviet Union.
It is clear, however, that some of these changes are not being embraced. Much of what hap-pens today in the region can be characterized as an anxious engagement with these new realities. In recent years, policies of political recentralization, evidence of a re-emerging fear of outsiders, and laws designed to limit and control dissent have all been signs of serious discomfort with the new flow of people and the global exchange of ideas. Understanding the region’s complex responses to new realities requires deep engagement with its history, culture, and context, but also with questions of global dynamics. It requires facilitating meaningful conversations across disciplines, beyond international traditions, and between academics and policymakers.
The Kennan Institute aims to create a lively space where the new realities of this complex region can be evaluated, and new ideas can be presented and discussed. For these reasons, the Kennan Institute has increasingly developed programming and supported scholarship that examine the region’s changing realities, particularly in the areas of interregional/international migration, cultural diversity, changing religious practice and identities, security (terrorism, border control, human trafficking), shifting demographics, and the problems of civil society and civic dissent. Of course, developments in high politics, macro-economic realities, and tra-ditional security issues remain a vital part of the Kennan Institute’s programming. But special emphasis continues to be placed on the under-studied problems of how people view them-selves in a changing, re-emerging, reanimating world.
Woodrow Wilson International Center for scholars42
Kennan Institute Annual Report 2005–2006 43
For example, in the 2005–2006 program year, the Kennan Institute hosted events about historical and contemporary migration in the region. Blair A. Ruble, director of the Kennan Institute, presented his book Creating Diversity Capital: Transnational Migrants in Montreal, Washington, and Kyiv, in which he argues that immigrants can improve the ability of cities to create tolerant institutions and absorb large numbers of migrants. Title VIII-Supported Research Scholar Eric Lohr argued in a Noon Discussion that there is a precedent in Russian history for this type of immigration, emigration, and interaction. A large-scale conference was held in Moscow on “Russia’s East on the Threshold of Immigration,” and another in Kyiv on “Modern Immigration Challenges for Ukraine.” The theme of globalization was addressed in seminars with Nikita Pokrovsky, who discussed “Globalization in the Russian Heartland,” and Harley Balzer, whose talk was titled “Encountering the Global Economy after Communism: Russia and China Compared.” The problem of minorities was addressed in a conference in St. Petersburg titled “Minorities in Big Cities,” which was part of the Kennan Moscow Project’s Galina Starovoitova Readings series, and in a talk in Washington by Leila Alieva on “Post-Soviet Integration Processes in the Caucasus and their Security Implications.”
In an attempt to analyze some of the implications of globalization for important security questions, the Kennan Institute, together with the New Eurasia Foundation and the Center for the Development of Democracy and Human Rights, Moscow, organized a high-profile conference on “National Security and Human Rights” in Moscow in June 2006. Included as part of the official Russian program for the St. Petersburg G-8 civil society meetings, the conference allowed participants to debate and discuss the flow of ideas and peoples in a world in conflict and transition.

KENNAN INSTITUTE
PuBLICAtIOns
The Kennan Institute and the Woodrow Wilson Center are philosophically and opera-tionally committed to broad dissemination of the research they sponsor by means of books, Special Reports, Occasional Papers, and Meeting Reports.
In conjunction with the Wilson Center Press, the Kennan Institute publishes both mono-graphs and essay collections. Special Reports are booklets that summarize research findings intended for general dissemination or that document the institutional history of the Institute. Occasional Papers are reports on completed research projects or works-in-progress. Submitted by resident scholars, visiting speakers, and workshop participants, these papers are normally longer than standard journal articles and are aimed primarily at an audience of specialists. Some conference papers and proceedings are also published as Occasional Papers. An average of two to five Occasional Papers are published each program year. Meeting Reports are single-page summaries of those Institute lectures of greatest relevance to the general public and the policy-making community. The Institute publishes two such reports for each month from October through June.
With the exception of books, all Institute publications are offered to the public free of charge and are regularly distributed to individuals, university libraries, and companies throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, and other states in the region. Most publications are also avail-able on the Internet.
Meeting Reports are the heart of the Institute’s publication program; together with the Institute’s monthly calendar, these reports were received by a readership that exceeded 6,500 in 2006. This readership included scholars and researchers at universities and research institu-tions worldwide, as well as U.S. government officials, and professionals such as lawyers and businessmen. By far the most popular publication the Institute produces, Meeting Reports are used widely in college classrooms in the United States and serve to keep scholars and profes-sionals throughout the world in touch with current research in the field.

ObLAST. (WILLIAM C. brUMFIeLD)
The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on April 26, �986 was a disaster of world-wide significance. As the most serious nuclear accident in history, it captured the attention of the world, and continues to influence the debate on the safety of nuclear power. Understanding the consequences of what happened at Chernobyl is crucial to this debate.
In order to promote an understanding of Chernobyl, the Kennan Institute in coopera-tion with the Harriman Institute of Columbia University, the University of Alberta, the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Project, and its Global Health Initiative organized a conference to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the disaster. The conference, titled “Commemoration of the Chernobyl Disaster: the Human Experience Twenty Years Later,” was held over two days at Columbia University and the Wilson Center. Panelists included representatives from the United Nations, humanitarian organizations, academia, the literary world, the media, as well as diplomatic representatives of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
Oleh Shamshur, ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Vladimir Rybachenkov, counselor at the Embassy of the Russian Federation, and Dmitry Ponomarev, counselor at the Embassy of Belarus, opened the conference at the Wilson Center on April 26, 2006 by discuss-ing the political, social, and environmental effects of Chernobyl on their respective countries. David Marples, professor of history at the University of Alberta, outlined the development of the power plant and the accident, and also described the legacy of the explosion from a schol-arly perspective.
Although there is wide-spread agreement on the need to study the effects of Chernobyl on human health, the exact details of its impact are a matter of contention. Didier Louvat, head of the Waste Safety Section at the International Atomic Energy Agency, presented the findings of the Chernobyl Forum, which give an overview of the health consequences of the disaster. Murray Feshbach, a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, criticized the findings of the Forum, arguing that its conclusions were based on problematic data. Leonard Mazur, a member of the board of the Children of Chornobyl Relief and Development Fund, suggested that there were other sources of data that the Chernobyl Forum had not consulted that indi-cated that the explosion had had more serious consequences.
In a luncheon keynote address, Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) reported that the U.S. House of Representatives had unanimously passed HR 703, which recognizes the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident and supports continued efforts to mitigate its conse-quences. She also described her own concerns about nuclear power.
In addition to being a health catastrophe, Chernobyl affected the ecosystem of the area around the nuclear reactor. Alla Yaroshinskaya, a journalist at the time of the disaster, told the
COMMeMORAtInG tHe 20tH AnnIVeRsARYOF CHeRnOBYL At tHe KennAn InstItute
Woodrow Wilson International Center for scholars60
story of how Chernobyl became a symbol for activists in their efforts to push for change in the Soviet Union in the era of glasnost. Mary Mycio, author of The Wormwood Forest: A Natural History of Chernobyl, argued that the Chernobyl accident, in spite of the adverse effects of radiation, had paradoxically created a wildlife preserve around the reactor as a result of the absence of human inhabitants. DJ Peterson analyzed the local, national, and international impacts of Chernobyl, and discussed the merits of recent proposals to revitalize the environ-mentally contaminated region.
Another panel examined the “Human Experience” of Chernobyl. Kennan Institute Senior Associate Margaret Paxson discussed the need for policymakers to recognize just how pro-foundly Chernobyl affected individuals, in order to both understand the event itself, and to make sound recommendations for the future. Kate Brown reviewed the multicultural and multiethnic history of the Chernobyl region. She called Chernobyl a “requiem for the twentieth century,” a century which saw the region exposed to traumatic events, such as the Holocaust, the Great Famine of �932–33, and Soviet oppression. Irene Zabytko read a moving passage from her book The Sky Unwashed, which was a fictionalized account of the experience of one family displaced by the Chernobyl disaster.
At the end of the conference, participants watched the Academy Award-winning docu-mentary Chernobyl Heart, which portrays the lives of people living in Chernobyl-contami-nated regions of Belarus. William Novick, a heart surgeon and director of the International Children’s Heart Foundation, was featured prominently in the film. He discussed the pub-lic health challenges and scientific issues surrounding the disaster, and shared his personal experience.

During the past year, American political leaders and experts on Russia continued to grapple with how to understand and formulate policy towards Russia. Many developments in Russia have been positive. Buoyed by high oil prices, Russian economic growth continues, and the government has repaid its IMF debt early and has scheduled early repayment on its Paris Club debt. Russia continues to share many American concerns, if not priorities, regarding international terrorism and nonproliferation. At the same time, however, many U.S. experts and policymakers have a growing concern over, in the words of a prominent report from the Council on Foreign Relations, “Russia’s wrong direction.” This debate was reflect-ed in programming at the Kennan Institute.
Russia, which this year overtook Saudi Arabia in oil pro-duction, has unquestionably sought to translate its energy riches into greater state control at home and expanded politi-cal influence in the world. According to Andrei Tsygankov who spoke at a Noon Discussion, Russia’s new assertiveness represents the pursuit of its legitimate economic and security interests. While President Vladimir Putin is drawing applause
from the Russian public, there is intense debate in the West over whether he is rolling back democracy in Russia and whether Russia can be a reliable partner.
A central question in the debate is whether Russia is a democracy, or an emerging authoritarian state. Marc Garcelon argued that in the period from Gorbachev to Putin, Russian leaders were most concerned with defeating rivals and secur-ing their own authority, and democracy was never truly con-solidated. Hugh Ragsdale contended that while Russia may have no tradition of liberalism, it is a democratic state and its leader enjoys wide public support, and therefore accusing Russia of authoritarianism is needlessly confrontational and counterproductive. Georgi Derluguian compared the func-tioning of the contemporary Russian state to the “machine politics” of Prohibition-era Chicago, in which the trappings of state institutions exist, but real power is held by informal elites who maintain control through patronage networks.
Two speakers focused on how Putin’s drive to centralize power is undermining the Russian state’s capacity to meet the challenges of globalization. Andrei Kortunov suggested

that Putin is creating a regime similar to those that emerged in newly industrializing countries in Latin America and East Asia in the mid-20th century. Such a regime is unlike-ly to have long-term success in the post-industrial age, he argued. John Williams focused on the factions within the Russian state, from the central bureaucracy to regional leaders, who are in competition for control over resources. This leaves Russia unstable and open to crisis, he argued, as the state is forced to rely on a central leader to balance the competing factions.
How the U.S. policy-making community understands and defines the Russian political system has a tremendous impact on U.S. policy towards Russia. Many speakers over the past year cautioned that Russia today is especially hos-tile towards the idea of American criticism—let alone inter-ference in Russia’s internal affairs. Allen Lynch and Paul Stephan argued that U.S.-Russian relations suffer when America interferes in Russian affairs, and the U.S. policy of supporting political and economic reform in the �990s has contributed both to anti-American sentiment in Russia
today and to the public’s suspicion of “democracy” as a ploy to keep Russia weak. In a debate on American policy toward Russia held at the Kennan Institute, Edward Lozansky con-tended that rather than antagonizing Russia by imposing American values and ideology, the U.S. should seek to build a partnership with Russia based on pragmatic interests, while Alex Goldfarb stressed that U.S. policy should be to pressure the Putin administration to respect human rights and democratic norms, while providing assistance to pro-democracy groups within Russia.
Igor Zevelev suggested that although the U.S. does have sufficient hard power to constrain Russia’s actions in the international arena, it is unlikely that Russia’s leaders will be persuaded to accept the American rules of the game any time in the near future. Given this constraint, he argued, the wis-est course for the United States would be to integrate Russia into the international system as a stakeholder. Working with Russia will allow the two countries to find areas of common ground, while excluding Russia would only lead to greater strains on the U.S.-Russian relationship.

uKRAInIAn POLItICs AFteR tHe PARLIAMentARY eLeCtIOnsFollowing the international euphoria sparked by the Orange Revolution in winter 2004, it was hard to imagine how Ukraine’s politics could measure up to the excitement of that memorable presidential election. Yet in the year following the inauguration of President Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine’s political scene once again produced international headlines, scandals, political sensa-tions, and another round of elections. Throughout the program year, specialists came to the Kennan Institute to forecast the future of the Ukrainian state. Experts presented a variety of scenarios, but most agreed that Ukrainian politics are unpredictable. In fact, the unexpected did indeed occur: the two archrivals of the Orange Revolution came together to create an unprec-edented political coalition, stunning their supporters as well as observers. The Kennan Institute lecture series provided a forum for discussion of developments in Ukrainian society and politics, and outlined possible U.S. policy approaches to the country.
Experts commemorated the first anniversary of the Orange Revolution by reviewing how Ukraine confronted the difficulties of everyday politics, and the movement’s long-term impact on Ukrainian politics. Paul D’Anieri addressed these issues in November 2005, foreshadowing the questions that would echo in many future presentations. He expressed uncertainty over how confident the international community could be that Ukraine would remain on a steady path towards democracy and integration with the West. William Green Miller, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and a senior policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, voiced his initial disappointment with the breakdown of the Orange coalition, but concluded optimisti-cally, asserting that Ukraine had fundamentally changed its political system by breaking down the “party of power” structure of government. Miller predicted that everyday politics would look different in the future and that the Parliament would become a force to be reckoned with, rather than an appendage of the president.
The Kennan Institute also organized a series of events during the 2005-2006 program year to predict the outcome and analyze the results of the March 2006 Parliamentary elections. At a round table discussion previewing the elections, Taras Kuzio accurately predicted that the Party of Regions would be the largest faction in the Parliament, due to widespread disillusionment with Orange politicians. Adrian Karatnycky asserted that the success of the Party of Regions was not as dire a threat to democracy and market reform as had previously been thought, since it was a group made up of empowered and self-interested business elites. Mykola Riabchuk argued that in spite of divisions within Ukrainian society, there was little difference between any of the country’s major political parties, because they are all led by politicians from the same Soviet generation.
Immediately after the parliamentary elections, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs David Kramer stated that they had been conducted much better than the flawed presidential elections of 2004, and according to observers, were mostly free and

fair. Kramer stated that the U.S. government would be willing to work with whatever parliamentary majority was created, because the elections had met interna-tional standards. In April, a month after the elections, Ilko Kucheriv provided exit poll data and pre-election surveys that illustrated how Ukrainian politics started to follow a certain trend, but have not in any way pro-vided more certainty or predictability. Nadia Diuk noted that these elections were not simple, and that assistance from the West was solicited by opposition parties as well as by the “Orange” parties. She contend-ed that the final results of the Parliamentary elections surprised everyone and no one at the same time.
The Ukrainian media, which played a large role in the elections, were also discussed at Kennan Institute seminars during the program year. Marta Dyzcok described the media, which proved crucial during the March elections, as still predominantly under the con-trol of oligarchs. Olexiy Haran asserted that the media was more free in 2006 than in 2004, which enabled the opposition (formerly the party of power) to cam-paign effectively.
Andrew Wilson, while asserting that post-Soviet politics could often be characterized as a “virtual” political game (in which political technologists created and stage-managed a “virtual democracy”), he men-tioned that Ukrainian politics was starting to move beyond this. According to Wilson, the Ukrainian elec-torate had certainly gotten “wiser,” and had not been manipulated into electing artificially-created decoy parties into Parliament.
The Kennan Institute will continue to support the study of Ukraine in the upcoming program year, both through its programming and through continuing work on its “Civil Society in Ukraine” research workshop.
